About this show
Don’t miss this extraordinary one-of-a-kind puppet performance… a small show with big ideas! Meet Grey. Our journey begins as Grey finds themself trapped inside a jar, unable to remember why, and wondering how to be free… Watch Grey’s story unfold (literally!) from a single suitcase, on a journey towards a brighter future, with magical pop-ups, puppetry and shadows. SeedHeart tells the important tale of how Earth changed since humans came along, with interactive chaos in the laboratory on the way!

— Everything Theatre (3 out of 5 stars)
There is something quietly effective about the SeedHeart showing at Pleasance Courtyard. We meet Grey, a small puppet trapped inside a glass jar with no memory of how he got there.
